This is the crucial difference between yourself and 99% of computer users. Most people just use computers as tools; they don't care how they work. And for people who use them only as tools, Windows is dramatically superior to any flavor of UNIX, without any doubt. The Mac is a viable alterative, if for some reason they really don't want Windows; the Mac has many disadvantages, but at least it is still usable. However, the best choice is Windows, and that is not changing. Nobody outside the community of geeks uses anything else. > So, what it comes down to is: Use whatever > you are most comfortable with, no matter what > anyone else tells you. Yes. What the geeks never seem to understand, though, is that everyone else is comfortable with Windows (except for a handful who prefer the Mac).
